Do you think baby cribs could create more crime?
Since it looks like bars, and if the baby sees that, maybe later in life, he or she will think that jail is no big deal.
I don’t know when cribs were invented, but has crime increased since the invention of cribs.
Actually your question is valid. Too many other factors contribute to rate of crime, like overall neglect or abuse.
In the 70’s child psycology was studying the effects of infants being left in their playpens too long instead of being out and about. In those days there were still the old type with slats and the modern with the strong net sides. It was considered stifling, frustrating etc.
So the market opened up to more educational activity toys and other childhood equipment. The Child product industry/market really started to boom then.
When the child is very young, he doesn’t really see the overall view of the sides. He/she probably is learning to focus on the movement, shapes & colors on the mobile thats over head or hanging farther down at the other end and any other automated activity center attached higher up on the bed.
Later when the child becomes more aware, their time in the bed should be limited to sleepy time. So that they don’t see it as punishment.
Basically that’s how a lot of parents have to deal with it.
Until they can adapt it to the toddler bed set up.

My 10 month old son is in his crib right now. He is listening to a lullaby and watching the fish swim around in his Fisher Price Aquarium. He looks quite content. I don’t think he will associate this with jail later in life. I hope not.

If it’s in the genes it’s in the genes. How else could you find this answer? a growing-up psychological study, why put a human being through that torture. LOOK at the family genes! Enough said.

The only thing a crib is good for is to prevent brain damage from when a young child or baby falls out of a bed. Plus crime has increased because of drugs and sex and not because of the invention of cribs

That’s a very unique perspective, but I don’t think it really has much to do with crime rate. Cribs, in their modern form, have been around for a century at least. Before that, was the rocking bassinet, which you might have seen in museums or antique stores. They look like a feeding trough on rocker legs, made of wood, and either had solid sides, or sometimes wooden slats just as modern cribs have. Cribs in some form have been around since the dawn of civilization, just as have the wooden bars. The bars are actually practical because they allow you to see baby without disturbing him, and they also allow air to flow freely through the crib, all without allowing the baby to throw himself out or over, or to climb up the sides.
The crime rate has been so erratic, yet steadily climbing, that I don’t really think cribs have much to do with it, especially if you keep in mind how much crime rates have spiked in the past decade and the rate of crib sales have not. It’s definitely an original thought that deserves some discussion though. I can just give you my opinion as a history major, as no real studies have been done on this. However, I would be very interested to see a national average on crime rate versus crib sales over the past decade. It would be great fodder for conversation!

I don’t think so. I think its a lack of taking responsibility for your actions. Parent’s don’t teach their children restraint and how to respect things and people. I slept in a crib and I have never been to jail.
